A man on vacation in the Fethiye district of Muğla proposed to his girlfriend underwater. The proposal was captured on an underwater camera.
He contacted a diving school to arrange the proposal
Ömer Faruk İkiz, who came to Fethiye on vacation with his girlfriend Merve Çabuk, reached out to Önder Diktaş, who runs a diving school in the district, to propose underwater. After preparations were complete, the couple set out for Tarzan Cove on a dive boat.
Wearing their diving gear, the couple dove to a depth of 5 meters accompanied by instructors. During their underwater activities, a banner that had been prepared in advance and read “Will you marry me?” was unfurled.
The answer was “yes”
After Çabuk saw the banner and replied “yes,” İkiz embraced his girlfriend. The couple’s underwater moments were captured on camera by the diving team.
The coast of Fethiye, with its crystal-clear waters and coves, ranks among Turkey’s leading centers for diving tourism. Diving schools operating in the district organize both training and tour programs year-round.
The diving season in Fethiye lasts a long time
In Fethiye, the sea water temperature remains at a level suitable for diving from spring through the end of fall. This allows the district’s diving schools to extend their season longer than many other coastal destinations.
Diving sites in the region include shipwrecks, caves, and reef formations. Introductory dives are organized in shallow coves for novice divers, while certified divers are guided to deeper routes.
Underwater activities add variety to tourism
In recent years, underwater photography and capturing special moments on camera have become part of the services offered by diving businesses in the region. Diving programs can be organized for events such as marriage proposals, birthdays, and anniversaries.
Tarzan Cove is known as one of the popular stops for boats among the coves in the Fethiye Bay. With its surrounding pine forest and calm waters, the cove offers an ideal setting for diving.
